Welcome home to this beautifully updated Colonial, thoughtfully renovated in 2021 and filled with natural light throughout. The inviting front porch sets the tone for the warm and welcoming interior. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout and a flowing floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The modern kitchen with all stainless steel appliances and granite countertops opens to the dining room, complete with a charming window seat, and connects effortlessly to the main living spaces. Enjoy the stunning vaulted-ceiling sunroom, where walls of windows and multiple sliders create a bright, airy retreat overlooking the backyard with direct access to the new deck - an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find 4 bedrooms and a full bath, while a convenient half bath serves the main level. Situated on a generous .42-acre lot, the expansive backyard is framed by mature trees and offers plenty of room to relax, play, and entertain. Enjoy summer cookouts and evenings outdoors on the brand-new deck and custom paver patio overlooking the private yard. Additional highlights include forced hot air gas heat, central air conditioning, wiring in place for an EV charger, and a long setback driveway with parking for up to five vehicles and ample room for easy turnaround. Ideally located just minutes from vibrant downtown Reading, you'll enjoy convenient access to local restaurants, shops, parks, and the commuter rail. Routes 93 and 95 are also nearby, providing exceptional access for commuters and making travel throughout Greater Boston simple and convenient. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a beautifully maintained home in one of Reading's most desirable neighborhoods. Open houses begin Thursday!
